I'm finally done with FYP semester 1.. (: one more to go!! (:
but not thinking about that right now.. i want to rest...
after the stress and worry over the past week..
I'm physically and mentally worn out..
I'm emotionally tired too..
and spiritually, quite dry.. so after this.. it's time to get my rest, spend more time with God and get right with Him again.. (:
in the morning.. in the car.. my mum was just listening to some chinese songs.. it was some song about making a wish.. so the only english words they sang was 'make a wish..'
and think about that.. how often do we want something to badly...
or.. how often do we wish for something so badly...
and when you imagine yourself getting it.. you think that you will go over the moon.. your life will change.. etc..
but when you got it.. you realised.. heyy, the excitement wore off after that first instance...
like my FYP report submission on mon.. we were rushing like crazy for the report.. i was thinking.. waa, if only i can finish it, then everything will be done.. cool.. i was excited for the end.. however when we finally did finish... the happiness was short-lived.. a few seconds.. at most a min.. then... your mind will be thinking... what next?...
so what next?... what next?...
do we go through life doing this?... completing one thing after another.. achieving something you have always wanted, and when you did... the only thing you ask yourself is what next?.. is there nothing fixed in the world?....
i often ask myself that too.. is life just doing and doing and doing... doing until we die?...
the first breath that we take.. would it still be the same as the last breathe that we take?..
the lift we live.. do we at times, just waste it.. just like that?... do we sleep our life away, where half the time, we find ourselves on the bed. sleeping?...
what is life all about?... isnt it a question a lot of people want to know..
what is life truly about?..
making money?
getting the position that you always wanted?
being married before the age of 25?
having children before the age of 35?
getting the job that you always wanted?
having the latest gadgets to play with?
what is life about?...
to me.. i always told it was all the list above.. but i realised that there was more to it..
when we die.. where do we go? can we take all our successes with us? can we take our money with us?
what would determine what life is about.. would be the question.. what lies ahead of life?...
what lies beyond death?..
where are we doing when we die?
are you sure about where you are going?
death used to be very scary for me..
cuz i was uncertain of where i am going to land up in..
but having the assurance in Christ.. i am no longer afraid..
being certain of what lies beyond death would change all the decision that you make in life..
being certain of what is the truth in all these..
every action you take everyday would be different..
you wouldnt live like it is your last day to live... but rather.. live for the goal to attain the final prize at the end of the day..
being very sure and confident in God makes everything different, because now.. we know that God is there..
He will never change..
He will never leave us..
He will always love us..
this is something that is fixed and will not change.. having the confidence in something that will not change is more assuring that having the confidence in something that will change am i right?
so why make a wish? and hope that someday your wish will be fulfilled?
have the confidence in Christ, like i did.. and never regretted.. (:
be blessed..
